| Lyrics: | by Bob Dylan
Precious angel, under the sun,
How was I to know you'd be the
one
To show me I was blinded, to show me I was gone
How weak was the foundation I was
standing upon?
Now there's spiritual warfare and flesh and blood breaking down.
Ya
either got faith or ya got unbelief and there ain't no neutral ground.
The enemy is subtle, how
be it we are so deceived
When the truth's in our hearts and we still don't
believe?
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light
on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn't make it by
myself.
I'm a little too blind to see.
My so-called friends have fallen under a
spell.
They look me squarely in the eye and they say, "All is well."
Can they imagine the
darkness that will fall from on high
When men will beg God to kill them and they won't be able
to die?
Sister, lemme tell you about a vision I saw.
You were drawing water for your
husband, you were suffering under the law.
You were telling him about Buddha, you were telling
him about Mohammed
in the same breath.
You never mentioned one time the Man who came and
died a criminal's death.
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your light,
shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just couldn't
make it by myself.
I'm a little too blind to see.
Precious angel, you believe me
when I say
What God has given to us no man can take away.
We are covered in blood, girl,
you know our forefathers were slaves.
Let us hope they've found mercy in their bone-filled
graves.
You're the queen of my flesh, girl, you're my woman, you're my
delight,
You're the lamp of my soul, girl, and you touch up the night.
But there's
violence in the eyes, girl, so let us not be enticed
On the way out of Egypt, through Ethiopia,
to the judgment hall of Christ.
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Shine your
light, shine your light on me
Shine your light, shine your light on me
Ya know I just
couldn't make it by myself.
I'm a little too blind to see |
